New Battery, New ignition switch, No push start.
Hey guys,
Last week my 06 Cooper S decided not to start up for after work. The lights and radio worked but I didnt hear the starter trying work. The 1st thing I thought was maybe the battery was dead or on it way out since it sounded like the starter wasn't receiving any power. I went to the store bought a new battery and she still wouldnt start up. So now i figure the battery is new, it must be the ignition switch not sending power to the starter. I installed the new ignition switch and still nothing. Today a buddy from work and I attempted to push start it and it sounded like it wanted to start up but wasn't receiving enough gas to fire it up or the crank wasnt spinning fast enough.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Any suggestions on what it could be would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Before to much information is thrown your way, first thing first... look into your engine compartment and check all your exposed wiring, look for evidence of a critter getting up in there and chewing on your wiring harnesses. This time of year this is a common thing that can happen. If this is the case, then finding and repairing the damage can be a time consuming chore, or it can be a simple fix.
But before you spend loads of time and money throwing parts at it, do this first.
And after this it should fall back to basic diagnostics, the basics of Power, Fuel, and Spark.
POWER:
Use a remote starter switch and jump the starter solenoid, does the starter spin? Isolate the issue. If the starter spin this way the issue is is between the starter and the ignition switch e.g., fuse, relay, circuit breaker.
SPARK:
Pull a spark plug and with it connected and grounded do you have spark when the engine turns over?
FUEL:
Pull a fuel injector and insert it into a plastic water bottle, crank the engine over, does it spray fuel?
Best of luck.
Motor on!

Also did you looks at the little ground cable between starter and the selionid ? Its can rust apart and loose contact.
